Formation and History
Gloucestershire County Cricket Club was formally founded in 1871, although teams representing the county had played under various names before then. The first record of a game being played in the county can be traced to 1729.
The early history of Gloucestershire is dominated by the Grace family, most notably W.G. Grace. W.G.'s father, Dr H.M. Grace was involved with the formation of the club. It was a successful period with Gloucestershire winning serveral unofficial county championships in the 1870s. William Gilbert Grace (July 18, 1848–October 23, 1915) was an English cricketer who, by his extraordinary skills, made cricket perhaps the first modern spectator sport, and who developed most of the techniques of modern batting. ...
Since then Gloucestershire's fortunes have been mixed. Wally Hammond, who still holds many of the county's batting records formed part of a strong pre-second world war team, although the highest championship finish during this period was third in 1939. Walter Reginald Hammond (June 19, 1903 - July 1, 1965), often known as Wally Hammond, was an English cricketer, who played for Gloucestershire and England, primarily as a batsman, in a career that straddled (and was disrupted by) the Second World War. ...
Outstanding players since the war include Tom Graveney, Jack Russell (Gloucestershire cricketer) and overseas players Mike Procter, Zaheer Abbas and Courtney Walsh. Thomas William Graveney (born 16 June 1927) is a former English cricketer and the president of the Marylebone Cricket Club for 2004/5. ...

They won several titles mainly under the captaincy of Mark Alleyne whilst being coached by John Bracewell. Mark Wayne Alleyne (born 23 May 1968 in Tottenham, London) is an English all-round cricketer who made ten One-Day International appearances for England between 1998/99 and 2000/01. ...
